An activity to do at your holiday rentalSet out to investigate and discover the region
Looking for something to do during your stay at a holiday rental? Instead of yet another sightseeing tour, turn the town into a playground: an outdoor investigation to carry out with family or friends. You walk around, you observe, you follow the clues, with nothing to set up or prepare.
Choose an investigation
From your holiday rental, start a case to solve in the nearest town. Everything happens in the browser, with nothing to install.
Head out to explore
The game guides you from one place to the next: you walk, you observe and you look for clues in the field.
Solve it as a family
Cross-check the clues, debate the suspects and name the culprit, all together.
What activity to do at a holiday rental with kids?
Once the bags are dropped off at the holiday rental, the question comes up quickly: what to do to keep the family busy without falling into the usual sightseeing tour? An outdoor investigation gives the walk a purpose. Instead of following a marked route, you set out to solve a mystery in the very town you came to visit. The walk becomes an adventure, the kids stay motivated, and even a small village takes on the air of a crime novel set. It's an outing of about 30 to 40 minutes per investigation, done at everyone's own pace and requiring nothing more than a phone.
Discover the region differently, along unexpected paths
The investigation trail doesn't follow the main tourist routes: it nudges you down a back lane, across a forgotten square, to look up at a façade you would never have noticed. You discover the area around the holiday rental from behind the scenes, where a classic tour never leads. By the end, you know the town far better than with a simple stroll through the centre, and you keep the memory of spots you would never have thought to explore.
What it changes for the whole family
A holiday activity that brings all ages together around the same goal.
For the parents
A turnkey activity: no preparation, no gear to bring along.
Quality time together, away from passive screens, out in the open air.
A way to get the kids moving without them feeling like they're sightseeing.
A free pace: you take a break, you pick it back up, you stop whenever you want.
For the kids
The fun of leading the investigation like real detectives.
An outing that feels like a game, not a tour they have to take.
Puzzles and clues to look for around every street corner.
The pride of solving the case and unlocking the end of the story.
A turnkey outing, starting from your holiday rental
No need to organise a big expedition: the investigation starts in the browser, with no installation, wherever you are. Outdoor mode generates a trail from the streets around you, so just lace up some good trainers and set off on foot. Back at the holiday rental, you share your stories, you compare your theories, and you follow up with another investigation the next day.
Nothing to install: it all plays from the phone's browser.
Playable anywhere in the world: the trail is generated around your rental.
Done on foot, starting from or around your rental.
Ideal for a short outing, between two holiday activities.
What families take away from it
The feedback that comes up most after a holiday investigation.
Staying near an unfamiliar little town, we discovered beautiful back lanes we would never have seen otherwise.
The kids loved playing detective: for once, they were the ones who wanted to keep walking.
An outing that kept the whole crew busy, between investigation and walk.
Is it raining? No worries.
You can also carry out the investigation in the warmth, from the sofa: the same investigation games can be solved indoors, without leaving your holiday rental. We've gathered our ideas for you.
